The FORD 4100 and 2100 were designed by HOLLEY.
I don't think FORD was using the AUTOLITE name yet.

In 1961, seeking to enter the profitable aftermarket auto parts business, the Ford Motor Company acquired the Autolite tradename, an Ohio spark plug factory, a Michigan battery facility, limited distribution rights, and the services of several employees. Autolite products became standard original factory equipment in Ford vehicles. A federal antitrust lawsuit was filed against Ford, which dragged on through the remainder of the 1960s, and Ford was forced to sell its Autolite-related assets to the Bendix Corporation by 1973.

The carb(s) also went under some design changes in 63/64. I am not sure if FORD bought the rights from HOLLEY or what, but just one example, if you go into the MPC, jets (9533) were the same as HOLLEY prior to 1964 and 1964/ were marked with an F after the jet size (different threads).
